FAQ

Can I turn a Mac screen recording into a GIF?

Yes. Screen recordings from QuickTime or the Shift-Command-5 toolbar are MOV files, and this tool reads them directly.

Is it free and private?

Yes. Converting MOV to GIF here is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. The conversion runs on your own device, so your file never leaves it.

Why is my GIF so large?

Screen recordings have a lot of pixels. Trim the clip, lower the width to 480 or 640, and use 10 fps. That usually cuts the size a lot.
